& Consultation

Communities which have the greatest capacity toresolve issues that threaten their safety, securityand well-being, require the least police assistance.

Situational Crime Prevention Measures: focus on specific forms of crime - like double-cylinder, dual bolt locks that prevent some forms of break and enter.

Police may have to find the natural community leadersand engage them to help community members increase their own safety, security and well-being.

Message from the Detachment Commander

It is with great pride as the Detachment Commander for Southern Georgian Bay detachment that I present the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment 2016 Action Plan Progress Report in conjunction with our new 2017 – 2019 Action Plan. As we look back over the past year and even over the past three years, we recognize the many policing successes we have had:

• The inauguration of the North Simcoe Situational Table in the fall of 2016; a collaborative effort of approximately 20 local agencies determining how to best serve the members at risk within our communities.

• A 17.5% reduction in motor vehicle collisions since 2014. • Successful input from detachment and regional analysts assisting with cost efficient service delivery based on trend analysis. • Technology advances such as civilian data entry and mobile work stations program implementations to increase efficiencies in front line service

delivery.

We continue to focus on the reduction of harm and victimization, specifically violent crime, property crime, illicit drugs and cybercrime. Once again, provincial targeted outcomes have been identified and we will work together to achieve these provincial targets by 2019. Southern Georgian Bay Detachment remains committed to a traffic safety approach that will change driver behaviours responsible for injuries and deaths on roadways, waterways and trails. Through education, engagement and enforcement, we will continue to make our roadways, waterways and trails amongst the safest in Ontario. We will continue to partner, engage and educate to find solutions in demands for service involving persons with mental health illness or crisis. We are also committed to reducing the number of false alarms which continue to misdirect law enforcement resources in OPP communities. As we look forward we will continue to ensure our communities have the service delivery they require. The focus of the next three years for the Southern Georgian Bay detachment will be:

• Continuing collaboration with community stakeholders via the Community Mobilization and Engagement Model. • Focusing on violent crime, specifically domestic violence in light of its severe impact on community members. • Continuing engagement in prevention of property crime such as thefts, frauds, and break and enters. • Road safety through education and enforcement to further reduce traffic collisions. • Promoting a healthy, skilled and motivated workforce.

The continued dedication and professionalism of our all of our members both civilian and uniform, together with the support of the Penetanguishene Police Services Board and our four Municipalities, will ensure our continued success in keeping all of our communities safe here in North Simcoe. Inspector Andrew Ferguson Detachment Commander Southern Georgian Bay Detachment, OPP

Other Policing Priorities Progress Results



The OPP’s action planning process ensures compliance with the Adequacy and Effectiveness of Police Services Regulation (Adequacy Standards) filed as O. Reg. 3/99 in 1999. Through assessment, analysis and consultation, the following priorities were identified under three categories: crime, traffic and other policing. The priorities reflect provincial and regional issues. Subsequent local analysis and consultation will further identify the specific areas of focus for this region. Priorities will be addressed by effective management strategies combining engagement, education and enforcement. Operationalized within the construct of Ontario’s Mobilization and Engagement Model of Community Policing these strategies will provide the foundation for sustainable community safety and reduced victimization.

Continue collaborating for an enhanced police response to persons experiencing a mental health crisis

• Effective police response to mental health crises requires collaboration and engagement from several community stakeholders. • Officer time dedicated to hospital assessments averaged 1 hour and 29 minutes per occurrence in 2016.


No Provincial target has been determined at this time. The methodology and reporting on achievements will be based:

• 100% compliance and accuracy of completed InterRai Brief Mental Health Screener forms(began tracking June 2014)

Pre

• Officers will maintain a 100% compliance with Brief Mental Health Screener submissions.

o This will enable effective communication between police, health care providers, and social service agencies.

• Officers will collaborate with social agencies at the local Situation Table (North Simcoe Situational Table) to assist individuals experiencing mental health crises.

• Partnerships with area hospitals will be pursued to reduce officer wait times for mental health assessments. • Officers will receive enhanced training related to mental health response strategies. • Ongoing strategies will focus on employee wellness to promote physical and mental health and a supportive

workplace culture. o These strategies will include offering internal and external resources to assist with the maintenance of

members’ mental health and encouraging members to obtain their annual ‘Ontario Police Fitness Award.’

Other Policing Priorities



Other Policing Priorities

Partner to reduce the impact/risk/frequency of false alarms and 911 pocket dials

• False alarm incidents and 911 “pocket dials’ are high risk occurrences requiring a two-officer response. • Southern Georgian Bay detachment officers responded to numerous false alarm calls and 911 ‘pocket dials’ in 2016. • Several locations incurred multiple false alarm occurrences while 911 ‘pocket dials’ increased with the influx of tourists. • Police resources are unnecessarily depleted. MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ACTIVITIES TARGETED OUTCOME

Reporting on achievements will be based on engagement and education activities.

Pre

• Media releases and other educational opportunities will address:

o Permanent/seasonal residents and business owners regarding the negative impacts false alarm

occurrences cause on policing resources.

o Inform residents and tourists regarding the negative effects of 911 ‘pocket dials’. This will include

engaging ski resorts and organizers of large summer events to assist educating patrons on 911 ‘pocket

dial’ occurrences.

• Engage municipal officials to strategize towards the reduction and prevention of false alarm occurrences.
